This place is conveniently located one mile off downtown la; Although, one mile can mean 20 min drive. The location is great nonetheless. Also, its relatively cheaper than other nearby hotels, roughly around $150.00 for a Saturday night.
Seeing that this is located in Little Tokyo, you can find some awesome Japanese restaurants and bakeries downstairs. The neighborhood is great, with a large variety of sushi, Ramen, bars, and shops, in case you're looking for a quick nearby cheap bite.
The room is pretty standard. No five star opulent hotel room but perfect for sleeping and showering. The room is clean, spacious, and comfy. The only dislikes, seeing that I am a girl that likes to primp before going out, is the bad lighting and no vanity mirror.
Also, the hallways slightly smell of Chinese food.
